Why excel ?
- It’s there– installed on every machine
- It’s easy – everyone knows how to use it – from simple calculations, to building models, charts, graphs and more
- It’s flexible – users can manipulate the data to meet management needs
Issues with Excel?
- Version Control – multiple versions to multiple people- difficult to manage
- Access control- anybody can make any change- entire data is visible
- Excel does not have any built in workflow for approval or rejection
